I turned in a proposal (what ultimately was my thesis proposal). I had created my own model and it was described as such in the text. I got accused of plagiarizing my own model because I didn't cite a source. The comment was 'it is as if you are claiming to have invented it yourself.' approximately. The next line of feedback was something to the tune of 'This is what some might consider plagiarism in a university setting.' I got 1 point above passing for the paper.
I went to the professor and told her she clearly didn't even read my proposal because it anyone who actually read it would have read that it WAS my own model. Being accused of plagiarism and not reporting it to anyone was a fun ordeal. There was no consequences because it wasn't reported but I have my dignity and fuck you for accusing me of plagiarism. I went to the head of the program who said he basically didn't care, the professor told him everything was fine. So I went to the dean of the school, who said the head of my program told him everything was fine. But nobody would actually read or listen to any feedback. Ruined my grade for that course and really made me dislike the university and their ridiculous resistance to any sort of feedback.
